Image <---- A lot of people said her legs looked too fat. Can someone explain how? I mean, they're not even touching, I don't understand how they look too fat. xD

Please tell me if anything looks weird to you? I'm trying to improve~

I think, that in proportion to the rest of her body, her legs are too large, they would be too wide for her hips in real life, so perhaps if you make them a little smaller it would look better?

Apart from that, they're really nice pictures. :)

Wow, those two are gorgeous pieces of art ^^;

Ahem. With the first one, the tip of the girl's nose is hidden, but from how you've drawn it, it looks big enough to go right into the boy's face x.x Like this:

And with the second one ... the legs do look fat, actually o.o; This is because if you compare them with the rest of the body, they actually are very thick - her lower legs are like, almost the width of her face (and anime heads are much larger than in realism.) Now also look at the size of her hands. And then look down at her feet. Then compare your own hand to your own foot xP And also, if you follow the lines from her thighs going upwards, they seem to go out of the dress x.x Like this:

I hope you don't mind me cutting out bits of your art like that! ^^;

Apart from those two points, though, they're really lovely =D I really like the wings from the second pic.

Woow, great art. Lovely colors, lovely shades and lights. Well done!

Hmm, yes well, it is the model you are used to in anime. But, I think it is realistic. If I could... would put up a picture of me, you will see I have rougely the same proportions. Broad hips-small upper body. (Though, with me, it's much more outspoken. Which I hate.. and why I won't put a picture.. bleh.)

Excuse me for my awefull computer drawing skills.. I just cannot get used to drawing on it.

Oooh, thank you, you three, I understand why people say that now.

When I drew the Dandelion girl's torso, I drew it like this:

And when I sketched out that kiss picture, I had drawn her nose pudgy like I do in other profiles, like this
Image
Even though it's pudgy though it does look like it's kinda going into his face, whoops, haha~
I can see how you can they look wrong, thank you for helping me understand xD

It's not simply the hips of the image, and to assume that it is would be a falsity. You've placed the left foot moving backwards in the image, and yet the knees/ankles remain level with one another for the most part (especially the knees) as well there isn't as much of a roll on the whole leg, it's seen strait on. Look in a mirror and view yourself standing as she does, there's a certain way the joints should flex. As well, the left hip should be dropped a little so that this movement is.
If i'm wrong about this, forgive me, but it's what I gleen from the image (again, the washed colors are making me doubt my analysis)

Still. The image does have lovely coloring/feeling to it. I like it. The colors in the hair are a tad washed out on my screen (curses to the imperfection of computers) but still, quite nice.

Oooh, okay, I understand what you're saying. Thank you very much for pointing that out, I never get much critisism on my drawings, so this is very helpful to me. <3
